Thanks for the nice words every one.

The car drives very well, It doesnt have the responce i want but that is only due to the large plenum and throttle body. I had intenstions to put a 35R + Twin scroll manifold on the car. But not that i am getting the EVO i am not sure if ill be doing that any time soon.

The car has Solid bushings every year so the ride sorta isnt the best, but the tein flex coilovers arent bad at all. so its not to bad on the road... but you sure do hear every thing in the road....

1 more day till i find out if the car is mine.. (monday)

Nice 240, I wanted to do that to mine but I bought a 300ZXTT instead. Sold that and got an evo. Thinking of a rb26det 74' 240zx next.

Thats pretty sweet, i know some one who did that.. I was looking at getting as 510 coupe and doing a RB20DET for a Daily driver.. but to much work into an old car.. and who knows if it would be reliable.. thats why i am getting an EVO.. plus i can drive it all year long..

i had an 00 S2000, but i could only drive it for half the year so i just sold it a month ago...

Very nice and clean car. Just wondering why you go thru all the trouble of swap and not use the RB26?

TomTomTuning

iTrader: (2)

Honestly i wish i did go with the 26.

but the reason why i went with the 25 was due to the deal on got on the motor.

The 26 requires more stuff, such as buying a RB25 Tranny + oil pan
Which is $1500-2000+ And plus the added cost of the motor set along.

but the 25 can make easy 500hp on stock block which is WAY more then enough power. the 26 is definitely a kick *** motor and hands down better then the 25, its just all comes to cost and goal.

26 has solid lifters and makes more power, and can also handle more power.
plus a couple other pluses especially aftermarket support, alot more then the 25
